Canyon de Chelly National Monument, located in northeastern Arizona, is a stunningly beautiful and culturally significant site. It is situated within the boundaries of the Navajo Nation and is one of the longest continuously inhabited landscapes in North America. The monument encompasses several canyons, including the main Canyon de Chelly and its branches, Canyon del Muerto and Monument Canyon. These canyons feature towering sandstone cliffs, ancient cliff dwellings, and rock art that date back thousands of years, showcasing the rich history of the Ancestral Puebloans and later the Navajo people.
